Vasoplegic syndrome is a common occurrence following cardiothoracic surgery and is characterized as a high-output shock state with poor systemic vascular resistance. The pathophysiology is complex and includes dysregulation of vasodilatory and vasoconstrictive properties of smooth vascular muscle cells. Specific bypass machine and patient factors play key roles in occurrence. Research into treatment of this syndrome is limited and extrapolated primarily from that pertaining to septic shock, but is evolving with the expanded use of catecholamine-sparing agents. Recent reports demonstrate potential benefit in novel treatment options, but large clinical trials are needed to confirm.

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 May 2020.

All research outputs

#4,317,282

of 15,184,210 outputs

Outputs from Critical Care

#2,693

of 4,760 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#93,662

of 273,988 outputs

Outputs of similar age from Critical Care

#1

of 2 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 15,184,210 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st percentile.

So far Altmetric has tracked 4,760 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.4. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.

Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 273,988 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its contemporaries.

We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
